NAME

icmstart - A startup script for icmbuild program maintenance

SYNOPSIS

icmstart [Options] top-dir [program|library]

DESCRIPTION

The icmstart script is a generic script that can be used to start program maintenance using icmake(1) and icmbuild(1). Icmstart will create an initial directory top-dir and will install the files CLASSES, VERSION and icmconf below top-dir. A second argument `program' or `library' may be specified as the default mode of operation of the icmbuild(1) script.

Skeleton files for the main directory and subdirectories, by default listed in the file /etc/icmake/icmstart.rc, may be installed as well (cf. icmstart.rc(7)).

After changing to the directory created by icmstart the icmbuild(1) script may be used for program maintenance.

OPTIONS

Icmstart may be called with the following options, which (if specified) must be the first arguments of icmstart:

o
-c confpath
Use the configuration files (icmstart.rc, AUTHOR, YEARS and VERSION) if found in `confpath' rather than in ~/.icmake and/or /etc/icmake/. Once a file is found it is used allowing partial overrides of the default files provided by icmake(1).
o
-d
Do not execute any commands, but show the commands that would have been executed on the standard output.
o
-I
Do not install files.
o
-r Unconditionally replace existing files. If -r is not provided icmstart will ask the user to confirm that an existing file must be overwritten. If a skeleton specification refers to a directory, the full directory and its subdirectories will be replaced.
o
-s skeleton-path
By default skeleton files are listed in the skeleton resource file /usr/share/icmake/icmstart.rc. Alternatively, the skeleton resource file may be specified by the ICM environment variable, which -in turn- may be overruled by the path specified with the -s option. The skeleton path may be specified as a full file-path or as a directory, in which case the skeleton resource file is assumed to be icmstart.rc (see below at SKELETON FILES). Since icmstart uses cp to install files, cp must be available when icmstart should install skeleton files.

SKELETON FILES

Skeleton resource files may contain comment (empty lines and lines beginning with the hash-mark (#)) which is ignored, and should otherwise contain specifications of resource s to install.

The default resource file is /etc/icmake/icmstart.rc, contains

 
     CLASSES
     main.cc     
     main.ih     
     usage.cc
     version.cc
     ? scanner
     ? parser
         
 
This file is overruled by ~/.icmake/icmstart.rc. See icmstart.rc(7) for details about the format of the icmstart.rc file.

FILES

The mentioned paths are sugestive only and may be installation dependent:
o
/usr/share/icmake/icmconf Example of a icmstart configuration file;
o
/usr/share/icmake/CLASSES Example of a icmstart CLASSES file.
o
/usr/share/icmake/icmstart.rc Default skeleton resource file.
